An incentive package for a proposed aviation biofuel facility in Hayward cleared the Senate 31–2 and now heads to Gov. Tony Evers’ desk for final approval. The bill passed through the Assembly 94–5 last month. …Senator Romaine Quinn praised the bill’s potential to bring economic development to the state’s northern region and its forestry industry… “This will fundamentally change the trajectory of the forestry industry in this state — raising the value of timber, improving forest health, and bolstering 2,000 jobs across Northern Wisconsin.” …The technology used to convert woody biomass into SAF is proven, but has yet to be scaled commercially. …Green said it “not only revives Wisconsin’s timber markets after years of decline, but will also bolster thousands of jobs across Northern Wisconsin.” “By utilizing 80% Wisconsin-sourced wood, the project ensures a strong, homegrown market for loggers and foresters while encouraging better forest management practices,” he said
